Dovxn, Feb. 1e.--The Legislative oern-
mittee oil City Council Ia down here In
force tc-nieht with the exception OF Mr.
Blaks) and the private sewer bills psnd-
ing are also represented 40 follows |
PENNSYLVANIA avenue sewer, Leonard q. |
Van Kleek; West street sewer, George W. |
Bush; Orange street sewer, John 81. |
Dandy; Tenth and Frsnkhn streets sewer,
Registrar Lee. Councilman Miller, Of the |
Legislative committee, Is also eonne cted |
with the latter sewer company. Both |
sides are entertaining the committees Of |
the Legislature, and IL Ia probable these |
private sewer men will agree TO incorpo-
rate in their charters provision that the |
city may at any time buy out their lines
on basis of actual cost.
cit is rather rough that couldn't leave
my seat for few minutes, but what you
should take advantage Of my absence 10
pass that grease bill,n remarked Assem-
blyman Rust, with an air Of injured In
noeenoe, as he came back in the House
this afternoon after the passage of the
Allaband bill. But the fact wss that
Messrs. Rust, Mulligan, Temple and
Wilson lodged the vote. They did 1t
with intent to break the quorum, In
which they would have succeeded but for
DIR. Chandler, who intercepted the nth
man, Captain Dasey, as he was moving
out and persuaded him to return to
his seat and vote on the bill.
The friends of the bill had Just 10 votes;
it takes ii to make quorum. DR..
Chandler brought Captain Dasey around
| by assuring him that the Allaband men
could beat the opponents of the bill in a
square fight and full house, for Mr..
Jones at least would be with them then,
making up IL votes--a clear majority,
When, therefore, Captain Dasey went
back to his desk and voted ''No," Speaker
MeOabe saw that the day was lost and
gave up the fight with GOOD grace.
In the debate Of the morning Speaker
McOabe called Mr.. Norny to preside,
and, taking the floor, showed himself as
good q man there as in the chair. He
made decidedly the best speech Of the
day. He said that he was opposed to
protection in toto, but If there was ono
class he would vote to protect II would be
the FARMERS. But he could not vote for
4 this bill. II seemed to him merely
special legislation in the interest of the
few and 10 the detriment of the many.
He had failed 10 find anything about 1t
to convince him that it would be bene-
icial, even to the butter makers. Re.
ferripR to memorial from the Rev.
Jonathan 8. Willis, which Mr.. Allaband
had sent to the clerks desk to be read, he
said: .'We are not here to legislate fol
popularity. but for the interests of the
majority of the people, for the good
J of the many, irrespective OF
popularity or unpopularity." But,
.. when the butter-makers are con.
! sidered on the one hand and the butter
consumers on the other, he doubted much
! if even the argument of popularity would
! stand. If the bill makes butter higher
! the few who make it will be benefited
= while the many who consume 1t will bt
injured. 81 don't think" he continued
Q 1--WE have any more right to say thai
a oleomargarine shall not be manufactured
r and sold than we have to say that mince
q meat shall not be manufactured and sold
Only last fall, during our political cam
paign, when the temperance men wer'
! urging prohibition, our leading ant
: ablest men took the ground that it wa
3 not Just to prohibit the sale or use o
liquor. If we have not the right to pro
hibit the sale of liquor, which Is confess
eddy very injurious, whence have w
the right to prohibit the sale of some
thing which eminent chemists have de
clared is not deleterious2 1t Is objecte'
that manufacturers Of oleomargarine vii
e swarm into this State If we do not pas
. this bill. II so, their manufactures vii

It would supply the material. Their oattl
A would be more valuable for their tallo,
u and milk than for butter. If we are goin
a to legislate in this line there will be n
y end Of 1t. The Sussex makers of hand
Z made shingles may come up here and as
! us, with Just as much Justice, to do ava
